9 Things In Wisconsin That Can (And Just Might) Kill You

Though only common in northern Wisconsin, bears have been spotted across Wisconsin, typically looking for food. They are obviously huge and can cause serious injury or death to humans. It is always best to not leave trash out, especially if you are camping or live in a northern part of the state.

Hate to break it to you, but there are black widows in Wisconsin. People fear black widows because their venom is 15 times as strong as a rattlesnake's. But don't worry - while their bites can be nasty, and even cause paralysis, they rarely kill people.

Winter in Wisconsin is pretty horrible. It makes driving perilous, and all that ice can make walking hazardous. The best thing you can do is drive slowly and be careful where you step.

While death from a bite is unlikely, they do happen. These snakes are also more interested in stalking and hunting small mammals than attacking just anyone.

I know, I know. It's sacrilege to even write this. Cheese is awesome. But too much cheese is bad for health. Try and limit - or, at least, put it over something healthy like broccoli.

In Wisconsin, it's the people who typically kill deer. But deer actually cause a lot of car accidents. Remember: deer don't just live in rural areas. They can dart out in front of your vehicle at any moment. Stay vigilant!

Unfortunately, Wisconsin has been experiencing record-high traffic fatalities. A lot of this is caused by the drunk driving epidemic and distracted driving. Don't put yourself or others in danger when driving. Make sure pull over or call for a ride.

Tornadoes are an unfortunate part of living in Wisconsin. They are less frequent than in other places in the country, but they are dangerous all the same. The best thing you can do is to stay on top of the weather and get into a safe place.
